NOVELL IFOLDER 1.0 Welcome to Novell iFolder iFolderTM lets you access your personal iFolder files from anywhere and at any time. You now have the flexibility of working on your files regardless of whether or not you’re connected to the network. If you make any changes to your iFolder files, you need only an Internet connection to upload the changes to your personal folder on the iFolder server. The changes are then downloaded to each of the computers where you have the iFolder client installed so that regardless of what computer you are using, you will always have the latest copy of your files—whether it’s at home, at work, or on your laptop.

This phrase is used to create the encryption keys that are used when files are uploaded or downloaded between your computer and the iFolder server. This encryption occurs on your computer, which means that you can store your confidential files on an untrusted server and you can protect your iFolder files located on the iFolder server from being accessed by someone other than you. NOTE: If you checked the box next to Automatic Login when you logged in to the iFolder client, you can disable it by right-clicking the iFolder system tray icon and then clicking Logout.
